Traditional medicine in the Malay community is a traditional custom of the ancestors. Malay traditional medicine is very unique and different from other peoples or ethnicities. For several reasons, the younger generation needs to be more knowledgeable about traditional medicine. Traditional medicine is closely related to midwifery, which is increasingly forgotten. All kinds of plants found around are considered wild plants and plants that grow without knowing the function of each plant. This traditional medicine is one of the ecotourism products for the Malay community that needs to be protected. The research results answer the objective of explaining the rules of traditional medicine for midwifery post-natal and listing the types of plants and how to use them. This qualitative study uses ethnographic methods, which are interviews and participation observations with key informants related to the cultural traditions of this Malay community. This research also obtained information using documents and library studies. The research findings will contribute to Malay locality products in ecotourism. Since traditional medicine is a knowledge the Malay community should be proud of, inherited by current and future generations. Efforts from all parties are essential.
